I love playing with words and I think I've come up with a new, original wordplay idea: HACKRONYMS. I've Googled this and not found an instance, so maybe my claim of originality is legit.

Here's the idea.

Definition of HACKRONYM: a hacked acronym (e.g., butchered, baked, maked) from a commonly known acronym, for its appeal to the hacker and maker communities.

Especially good HACKRONYMS would bear a definition (or definitions) related to the acronym from which it originated, strike immediate accord with the hacker/maker experience, lingo, and ethic, and embrace irony or humor. They would also not be generated from special acronyms already well established in the communities, lest they cause confusion in use.

I hope I don't get stoned, hogtied, and quartered for proliferating hackronyms, but here are a few more of them and usage examples.
